Reaction Steps

The product from Example 16 (1.00 g) was dissolved in 90 ml methanol and 10 ml anhydrous ammonia. 0.100 g 5% Rh/Al2O3 was added and the reaction was hydrogenated at 4 atm for 4 h. The reaction was filtered and the solvent removed to yield 0.97 g of the desired product as a colorless oil. NMR (CDCl3) δ2.20-2.61 (m, 3H), 2.66-3.45 (m, 8H), 3.82 (s, 3H), 3.89 (m, 1H), 6.67 (d, 1H), 6.78 (d, 1H), 7.14 (t, 1H).
